About

Giulia Berretti is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for laryngeal cancer treatment, with a particular focus on transoral laser microsurgery and exoscopic surgical approaches. Her major contribution lies in the development and refinement of transoral laser exoscopic surgery (TOLES), a cutting-edge technique that enhances visualization and precision during supraglottic laryngectomies. Her landmark 2024 article, "Exoscopic Transoral Supraglottic Laryngectomy," demonstrates the procedure's efficacy in an 85-year-old patient with cT2N0 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, achieving en bloc tumor removal with negative margins while preserving laryngeal function. Though early in her career with 2 citations to date, this work represents a significant step forward in expanding surgical options for elderly patients. Berretti's research bridges the gap between traditional laser microsurgery and modern exoscopic technology, offering potential benefits in ergonomics, three-dimensional visualization, and surgical education. Her dedication to technical innovation and functional preservation positions her as an emerging leader in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery.
